I'm not sure if I'd call the latter much of a "datapack" in the first place ;p because while yes, technically it is, I don't think it's that much of an improvement over the "x in only one command (which su

maybe it was preference at first, some people finding it annoying to deal with cpio's file list, and it built up to the modern stuff like builtin integration with compressors (probably coinciding with tar.gz becoming the de facto *nix

I'm a lil surprised at the speed! also, a little cheap addition would be saying the "you're viewing this page: online/offline, last refresh: now/two days ago" or such, and possibly either a button, or automatic

I'm rather sad that for example Battery API is deprecated... possibly might need a browser-wide toggle, but still... It can both be cool, and useful....mostly cool, though... you could have a complete web desktop (there several web des

pretty sure iTablets have a do-not-disturb mode too, which should take care of most immediate distractions, but this thingy could help in the way that yeah, you CAN'T check social media etc...(for which there are apps too, at least on

weird, how everybody has a negative sentiment, but also doesn't consider not using the fields as the labels indicate... and ALSO thinks this 8s an "online" thingy for some reason...(it just has a javascript version, just like

have you ever heard of backups and archiving? ;) there are lots of scenarios when you'd want to write some amount, but not read it back for a while, if ever...

that'd need trust that they won't run off with your drives, their basement won't get flooded, there aren't power outages often, they have good protections against surges and whatnot... which at ANY datacenter, is automat

they'd probably charge you the same anyway, even if THEY get it at basically free ;)

to me seems a very simple first step: just require extention devs to notify people on owner change, possibly with a standard way... just a lil popup or icon asking "extention X has been aquired by Y, it has permissions A, B, C, D, are

I'd bet most of them are quite "low quality art", but interesting anyway... plus, afaik, generally the image itself is not that important, as is the story behind it, if you have a story, a black square is a masterpiece, if yo

generative art is of a completely different tune... even if for this style they might not be that different results, the neural net(s) here (the "AI") can have details and textures simple math cannot, such as I saw a horse head i

how about... you pretend they're just from an infinite amount of anonymous authors? some of them feel pretty real to me, but then again, I don't know a thing 'bout this... were someone to make a catalogue of them, with random

I love how there's only a single browser or two in the entire world, lol (safari I've got bo clue about) that's while assuming chrome and firefox's debugging streams would be compatible.... you assume I don't use

quite enjoyable, and agreed, a lot of stuff is about WHAT amazing stuff you can do, but very little is advertised HOW to do... kinda sad AM radio is basically dead, since it can be fun making a simple AM receiver at home, it's even in

of course, I think everyone here would agree it's always good to have an API... too bad you're not gonna succeed in pushing this "rule" out, especially scraping stuff...bot bans are in part because it's rather easy

yep, we sure need this stuff...small stuff is a lot easier to manage too... also while not very related, I love the SQRL login idea, which is also decentralized, and also not in any final stage yet (but would allow kinda anonymous login,
